Going To Attempt To Cut My Side Swipe Bangs Myself

Okay... I have wanted to do something drastic with my hair for the longest time and never actually had the time to.
I kind of set up an appointment for tomorrow to get my bangs cut professionally, initially I want it done today, but I think I’m going to cancel it since I want them cut now, (I can get very impatient sometimes). Since I can't have them cut professionally today, I am going to attempt to do it myself. EEKKKS!!!
I'm actually kind of excited but scared at the same time. I know what I want and how I want it to look like, but can I do it??? That is the question. hmmmm.....
I guess I will find out later on tonight. Maybe I'll do a video on it. Hmmm....
To Be Continued....

A Helping Hand Will Go A long Way

I got off of work at the 4:30 PM and waited for my ride as usual yesterday. Tired as hell I managed to get through the day without falling asleep at my desk. As I got into the car I was too drained to even speak to my boyfriend, he too was also very tired and grumpy. Not saying very much to each other, I sat there trying to concentrate on staying awake and he, trying to concentrate on driving. The weather was so hot out, the AC in our vehicle did not work and rolling down the windows did not help. Traffic going home from downtown Calgary was horrible, sweat almost dripping from our temples and our back moist with perspiration; I didn't even want to think how long a ways we got to drive.
As we got to 68th and stopped at a red light I saw this homeless man holding up a sign which read "hungry and homeless, please help", walking up and down the road beside the stopped cars. He didn't ask for money, all he wanted was any kind of help; people rolled up their windows as he walked by, others looked at him and pretend not to see him. He was standing there in the scorching sun, looking parched as ever, seeing that broke my heart and I was not about to become one of those people. I took out my dinner which I had bought an hour earlier and hand it to him. His face light up and a gloss came over his eyes; he took it in a hurry and blessed me with all his heart. Then the lights turned green, as we drove off I stared into the rear mirror curious to see what he was going to do next. He dashed off the streets to a safe spot where he sat and opened up the dinner box to eat. I wondered, how long has he gone without food? Has anyone ever thought of helping him out? How come no one even cared to hand him a drink? Whatever their reasons may be, I felt good to help someone less fortune than myself.

Don't Recycle Your Old Wardrobe... Revamp It and Wear It Again

I don't like to recycle my dresses when I have a special occassion to go to, so I cut it up and revamp the whole thing.

Definition of Recycle - wearing the same outfit more then once.

Check it out!!!

This was taken at my company Xmas function last year 2008. I have happy faces on the other people because I haven't asked them for their approval to post their pictures up.

This pink salmon colored dress was revamped. It was my grade 12 prom dress back in 2001.

This was made from scratch for a friends wedding in 2008

A Little Less Procrastination And A Little More Determination

August 22nd, 2009 was the most memorable day of all. Two of my closet friends got married and I was one of the bridesmaids. As a wedding favour I was asked to sew four bridesmaid dresses for their special day.

They gave me six months to do four dresses. This was more than enough time. For some people that is. I am a horrible Procrastinator when I know I have a lot of time to work on a project. I figured that if I do one dress per month that would leave me with two months to go and play. Hmmmm... Sounds great right? Negative... because of my lack of time management skills, I ended up playing for the first four months and working on the dresses for the last two.

Ok talking seamstress talk now.... I can't sew the dresses completely and wash my hands and say I"M FINISHED!Oh...no no no... I did something that all seamstresses would have never done... that was to forget about the fitting process. With only two months left and two semi- finished dresses... I was running out of time and to top it off the dresses did not fit. OMG!!! Only then that I started to realize, I might not have any dresses for the bridesmaid to wear on the wedding day. Oh... did I mention that the fabric was silk?? silk is so unforgiving when you make a mistake. My schedule all of a sudden became hectic. I work full-time during the day and when I come home I would work on the dresses until I could not function no more.This went on right until the very last day. I was so stressed, so tired, so sewed out that I could cry if I had to do anymore sewing. So... comes Saturday August 22nd, 2009 I sprung out of bed at 4:00 in the AM - not to mention that I went to bed three hours prior... I had a panic attack. Running on adrenaline and almost having a break down... when it was time for the bridesmaid to get into their dresses.. I remembered I felt like I was going to faint and vomit everywhere... praying that everything would go well and remarkably (thank goodness) the dresses fits to the T and the bridesmaid looked amazing.

So......Would I do this all over again??? Ummmmm.....Yes I absolutely would... but next time with less procrastination and more determination.

Intrigued With What Adobe Illustrator Can Create But Microsoft Paint Will Just Have To Do

Bringing this back to September 14th, 2009.

I was always so curious as to how people can create such amazing art without the usage of a pencil.

It wasn't until Sept 14th when I discovered Adobe Illustrator. Well... actually I have heard of it but I had never seen it put to work. That wasn't until my brother the computer whiz, who happened to be working on his profiles for some web designing course he was taking in school. I was amazed to see how he could draw and shade and color all with a click of his mouse.

He made it look so easy that I wanted to buy the software just for the sake of my own interest in creating and drawing.

Luckily for me, he decided to give me a mini lesson with the Adobe Illustrator Program. Needless to say, after fifteen minutes I got no where it was harder than I thought.

I was so intrigued by it, I wanted to learn more of the program but.... I got booted off of the computer. I didn't get discouraged though, I had this urge to create something so bad that I whipped out my laptop and turned it on, went straight to Microsoft paint (I know this was all I could afford since it was free), and started doodling.

After some time which felt like a decade I finally drew something using nothing but circles and lines to create this piece of art I call monkey moo. It was definitely challenging but well worth the time. Another knowledge put to use!!!

A Crummy Day Turned into an Inspirational one

When I woke up this morning and realizing that I still hadn't won the lottery over the weekend, I thought to myself... when is that day going to come by when I don't have to get out of bed and go to work for somebody else?

The more I thought about it the more frustrated I became. I thought hmmmm.... maybe if I had of listened to my parents and continued with my education - I would've been where I'd love to be by now.
So... anyway... dreading the 45 min drive to downtown Calgary, stopping at almost every intersection we drove by, and having to listen to my nagging boyfriend (which makes it all that much more unbearable), made me even more frustrated than I ever was.
I got to work at 7:55 AM and already have a tone of work to do.
Sometime at or after 9:00 AM I had a nice talk about life with my boss (super cool by the way) who was also on the same page on where we should be in life, (so grateful for that).
Sitting there and chatting away, not really working, and worrying about how I am going to make the deadline for the day, (I made it though), we both thought why, why can't we just be RICH??? That’s when we started brainstorming non-sense get rich schemes. Things that a person wouldn't normally think about we thought about. The conversation got so pointless that we decided to get back to work. As the day drrrraagggggged.... like literally dragged on by a co-worker - who is also a friend, came up to visit. Yes... I stopped working again at that point.
The conversation we had was much more realistic then my prior convers... The topic was about blogging.
I don't remember how it came up and why... all I remember was that I was interested about the idea all over again. I was aware of blogging before this conversation started. In fact I had an account but deleted it because I was stuck in a black hole and did not know where to start - even if my life depends on it. We talked until our shift was almost over, she made me realize that I don't need to be a professional to blog, I don't need to be a somebody to blog, I could simply blog about my life, my ideas, or anything I want to blog about and most importantly it can be fun.
Nonetheless she inspired me so much that I decided that today would be the day I am going to pick up where I left off and continue on with it until there is no such thing as technologies.
Wow that was fun!!! I posted my very first blog.
